   janelrn replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

   I think that the people who gravitate to these hypes are either: 1. Conspiracy theorist who believe that anything mainstream must be bad and controlled by "them".... I could explore why they are this way, but I think the movie A Beautiful Mind does...

3. The best ways for a new grad to get in L&D???

   janelrn replied to SheWalksWithBeauty's topic in Ob/Gyn

   As an experienced ("seasoned") L&D nurse, and now a Nurse Educator, let me tell you that your enthusiasm and strategies to prepare yourself to be the best OB nurse ever is wonderful. Now for the part you don't want to hear. Don't go straight into...

4. Is there a facility that offers both LDR & LDRPs ; What are the Pros and Cons of LDRP

8. Dealing with nasty OB

   janelrn replied to JentheRN2007's topic in Ob/Gyn

   We had an MD who was famous for being nasty if you woke him up. As a night nurse, and a patient advocate, I had to call him many times. For a while I just ignored his attitude and called anyway (I've got teenagers, he didn't scare me). Finally, one n...

9. Hold that Push!

   janelrn replied to moz's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Definately send that on to someone in risk management, or corporate compliance. You may endanger your job, but your other choice is to endanger your license and more importantly, the lives of your patients. Dr. E obviously isn't doing what she's doin...
